It's time to go.
Most people are on the train by now. Settled into their cabins and among friends and loved ones. There are only three new arrivals left to board and once they do, Hal pulls a conductor's hat out from underneath the bar, tugs it on, and steps around it to the middle of the train. He opens his mouth to talk, voice filling the train.
"It's time to go. Stops happen once a day until everyone's departed and I already have your stopped listed. If you'd like to be prioritized, let me know, otherwise we'll go in order of death. Settle in and enjoy the ride. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask, folks."
This, of course, means that those who died earliest (Manfred, Higekiri) will depart first while those who died latest (Barnham, Damian, Percy) will depart last. There's a stop for everyone, though those who want to get off together are more than welcome to. Hal pulls a notepad and pen out of his pocket later and people will notice that he goes around the train confirming stops with everyone. Whatever feeling Hal may have had to a character back in town isn't noticeable here -- he is simply a robot assigned with a job.
After that, it's all a matter of settling in and enjoying the ride. If that's possible for you, at least.

[well, "very fond," at least, does sound very much like milla to say, though it's... probably not the phrase he'd use to describe his feelings for her.
though maybe it's the best approximation? he's not sure.
not that it matters, the thought is getting quickly shoved to the side by the kiss.
yes, this is fine, the kiss definitely compensates for milla's word choice here.]

[either way, she isn't pulling away from him anytime soon, instead choosing to linger as her hands once again brush through his hair]

something.
but it's fine, at least they seem to have this kissing thing down now that they've had some time to work on it. he's not going to pull away so quickly this time either, gratefully accepting her touch and leaning into is as one of his hands reaches up to cup her cheek.]
